Sen. Cory Booker's office said Friday that the $7,800 he received in campaign contributions from movie producer Harvey Weinstein will be donated to a nonprofit group fighting sexual violence after The New York Times published allegations Weinstein harassed multiple women.

Booker's donation will go to the New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault, his office said. The coalition represents rape crisis centers in each of the state's 21 counties, and advocates for legislation centered on rape survivors.

The Republican National Committee issued a news release Friday challenging recipients of nearly $770,000, including the Democratic National Committee, to give it back.

"If Democrats and the DNC truly stand up for women like they say they do, then returning this dirty money should be a no brainer," said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.

Weinstein gave Booker three contributions of $2,600 each in October 2013, just days before he was elected to fill the unexpired term of the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg. As of June 30, Booker's campaign account had more than $2 million accumulated for his next election, in 2020.

The $7,800 Booker received was part of a $10,000 contribution he made to Booker Senate Victory, a joint committee between the Senate campaign and the New Jersey Democratic State Committee. The NJDSC got the other $2,200, and will be giving that away as well, said spokesman Matt Farrauto.

The Times reported on allegations against Weinstein going back 30 years, many involving young female employees at his production company.

While Weinstein apologized and announced a leave of absence from his company, his attorney told USA TODAY the Times story was "saturated with false and defamatory statements" and they were preparing to sue.
